Well here is the function:
the two in variables are select queries. First one selects the line
features and the second one the point features. really simple.
select * from dev.split_lines2('select road_id as id, geom from
roadnet','select geom from points')

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dev.split_lines2(in lineq text, in pointq
text, out lineid int, out line geometry)
RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS
$$
DECLARE
        linerec record;
        pointrec record;
        linepos float;
        start_ float;
        end_ float;
        loopqry text;
BEGIN
 EXECUTE 'CREATE TEMP TABLE line_tmp as '|| lineq;
 EXECUTE 'CREATE TEMP TABLE point_tmp as '|| pointq;
 FOR linerec in EXECUTE 'select * from line_tmp order by id' LOOP
 start_ := 0;
 loopqry := 'SELECT *,
line_locate_point('||quote_literal(linerec.geom)||',geom) as frac from
point_tmp where intersects(geom,'||quote_literal(linerec.geom)||
                ')ORDER BY 
line_locate_point('||quote_literal(linerec.geom)||',geom)';
        --FOR pointrec IN SELECT *,line_locate_point(linerec.geom, geom) as
frac from point_tmp where intersects(geom,linerec.geom) ORDER BY
line_locate_point(linerec.geom, geom) LOOP
        FOR pointrec in EXECUTE loopqry LOOP
                end_ := pointrec.frac;
                lineid := linerec.id;
                --RAISE NOTICE 'start=%,end=%',start_, end_;
                line := line_substring(linerec.geom, start_, end_);
                start_:= end_;
                RETURN NEXT;
        END LOOP;
        line:= line_substring(linerec.geom, end_,1.0);
        RETURN NEXT;
 END LOOP;
 DROP TABLE line_tmp;
 DROP TABLE point_tmp;
 RETURN;
END;
